I hate the gym and have never really stuck with a workout routine until I started barre at Aleenta…read more The tenders are encouraging and the Rundle studio is a beautiful open location. I walk to work, and the studio is about five minutes away, so I can't speak to the parking situation. There are currently five different types of classes offered at the studio, plus occasional challenges or extended workshops. I love the variety, and that I can take classes before work, at lunchtime, or after work. Routines change every month, and each instructor puts their own twist on the routine, so if you go to multiple different classes you get a really nice variety of different styles of instruction. Everyone is knowledgeable, friendly, encouraging, and keeps me coming back for more! I have seen a noticeable change in my body, but most importantly it gives me a great place to clear my head and reboot a little bit. Ending with meditation is a real game changer. You also stretch throughout, so even after I have worked myself to exhaustion in the class, I never walk out feeling very sore. It's pricey, but worth it, since I keep going! I don't think it's more expensive than Pilates.

I've started Barre classes at the perfectly positioned Aleenta Barre (upstairs from Endota Spa)…read moreright next door to all my favourite shops which provides a little extra motivation. I'm a 6.30AM attendee so parking is never an issue - Rundle Street is eerily calm, quiet and empty at that time. Instructors are fabulous especially Alicia and Klara who are my favourites! There are three different class types don't be fooled Blend can be as hard as Burn. Content of classes change regularly, seems when you master one release you are on to the next. It is important to note that you must book into classes, there is no just rocking up. They have lots of different class times and an excellent iPhone app for booking classes - particularly useful for booking in at 5.45AM when you jump out of bed and decide you want to get to the 6.30AM class. Class ends with a healthy juice shots from Sowelu Naturopathy and you are ready to hit the ground running. Barre all excuses and give it a go!

If I could give Therapia 6 stars I would! These Physiotherapist have always gone beyond treating…read morethe my specific injury. All therapists have so much knowledge, and care about making you better as a whole. The clinic is in a converted warehouse between Waymoth and Currie Street, with a beautiful naturally lit Pilates studio at the back. Pilates sessions can be one-on-one with your physio, or in a class of up to 5 also with a Physio. As well as Physio's they have osteopaths, a naturopath and massage therapist.

I've been going to Your World Fitness since it opened its doors last year…read more It gets an A+++ for appearance. It has to be one of the most glamorous places in SA to go to the gym, complete with chandeliers and works of art adorning the walls. The place is massive and the facilities are state of the art - you never need to fight for a space to exercise. The class times are a bit awkward and don't really suit city workers, who I'd assume would be their biggest clients - so I'd recommend checking that out before you join. I'm hopeful that as they grow they will have more classes (especially yoga!) available. The biggest downfall is parking - unfortunately they have no designated parking and the car park across the road closes at 7pm which doesn't help those of us wanting to train after work. Street parking is the way to go but often difficult - unless you are doing a 6am class. Overall, a great gym and can't wait to see how it improves as time goes by!

This is a great gym, go and check it out for yourself. I want all my friends to go!…read more There are 5 levels to this gym, including at wet area (sauna, steam room and spa etc). The staff are friendly, always saying hello and goodbye when you leave the gym. The people who have set this gym up have a keen eye to detail, they are interested in providing an innovative gym experience. I have started with a Personal Trainer recently and it has been one of the best things that I have done. We have been incorporating a few crossfit exercises into my training and he has been able to make the training specific to my strenghth building needs that compliments my other activities. The gym boasts lots of great activities such as pilates, gravity yoga and pole conditioning. There is even a cafe on the ground floor with a wide selection of goodies for gym junkies. And if you have children, there are childcare facilities too. I haven't had a problem with carparking before or after hours either.
